@hcsharp would you ever consider attempting the rear 2.5 diffuser? You somewhat hinted it would be a winner back in '14

Agree. CF would be stronger and more durable than aluminum. It would also weigh less and look better.

Here's the photo of the prototype Tesla made years ago. Yes, I've checked... it wasn't mass produced sadly:

And if you did end up doing this (just dreaming a bit here), I'd love to see if we could design one that worked elegantly with the standard JdeMO placement for a more factory look

Nice, makes me wish I had a Roadster.

A Roadster with Tesla prototype parts!

...waiting for Bespoke lens to get shipped from Transforged then Gruber's will install Henry's carbon fiber taillights. Can't wait to post pics when done! Thank you Henry!

Did you get a hold of them to confirm?

Yes, Mick says he will send them to Gruber's.

Love it; how did you achieve this?

 

[hcsharp]

I should have some more ready later this month.

How did you get Mick to confirm he’s made the Bespoke tail lights?

I literally placed my order for those in July last year, got blown off for months by the contact person, finally got access to Mick who was quite nice in December.

He still hasn’t shipped me any of the promised (and paid for) Bespoke51 lights - and is AWOL again.

What’s your secret?

ok @hcsharp put me on the list!

Ask @hcsharp . He made them. Henry is also the person who made the CAN sr and jr adapters.

Mick said he will send it...but he also said that last month...LOL. And I ordered and fully paid for the lens last April! He knows that Henry's carbon fiber enclosure is waiting for his lens at Gruber's.

Hi Bunnak -- Mick just texted me back and said "At this point the only solution I can provide is to send you the remaining balance back. I won't have the last set completed before late March, we did just send out a set to California but the order has been placed in early 2019."

I'm wondering who got the Bespoke51 tail lights? Anyone here get them? Bunnak? Bueller? Bueller?

I am definitely suffering from "sunk cost" syndrome...waited since June 2019, should I just wait further until March 2020?

Hi I have the taillights!

ordered them in November 18 and got them after 6 months or so.
Do think it is worth the wait.

 

[Matteni]

For those that want the look and are not in it for the weight savings and at the risk of sounding a little "Pep Boys" why not just wrap the stock ones with top of the line 3M wraps or Vvivid Epoxy carbon fiber wraps?

They have several to choose from.

They can "self-heal".

They look convincing from 10 feet away.

They are reversible.

A good shop should be able to wrap them easily and make it look really good.

Here is interior on Tesla Model 3 but you get the idea.

@GJVR would love to see pics! sounds like it's worth the wait!

I'm probably the customer that Mick is referring too! And yes, they are on it's way to Gruber's as we speak. Once Pete installs them with Henry Sharp's carbon fiber enclosure I will post pics here!
@Story though mine isn't installed yet, I have seen them in person at the So Cal roadster round up and they look awesome. so yes, I would wait if i were you.
